After adding the transitional g1 quaver on the 1st beat in A, Chopin remembered to remind us that on the 3rd beat g should be restored. However, he did it in an unfortunate manner by adding a cautionary  only to the 2nd quaver in the triplet, g. Consequently, the semiquaver at the end of the bar, when interpreted literally, is still a g1; as far as cautionary accidentals are concerned, a  to the G crotchet would be more justified, which appears earlier than the aforementioned quaver. This erroneous and illogical notation was repeated unchanged by GE, whereas a  restoring g1 was added only by EE2. We also add it in the main text, omitting the  to g.
